Control Features Figure 2-1 1. Reset Switch The RESET switch resets the CPU. To access this switch, discon- nect all inputs and remove the battery compartment cover. The reset switch is located on the exposed PCB (refer to § 3.10). 2. - Page 11 There are two thresholds for the battery voltage: • The first is used to indicate low battery. The low battery indicator (Red LED single blink) will blink when the battery voltage drops below 2.2V. • The second is used to determine when to terminate recording and turn the unit off.

Page 12: Operation
CHAPTER 3 OPERATION LED Control Operation and Status Indication The ON/SLEEP state of the SLII can be determined by pressing the CONTROL button for less than 0.5 seconds. If the instrument is ON, the status of the instrument will be shown by the LEDs. If the instrument is in the SLEEP mode, all the status LEDs will light until the CONTROL button is released. - Page 13 The Control and Status Operation of each LED is as follows: GREEN LED CONTROL Starts a Recording Single-blink Logger is in Standby Mode (and not recording) STATUS Double-blink Logger is in Record Mode AMBER LED Stops a Recording CONTROL Logger is not in an Overload condition STATUS Single-blink One or more inputs are in an Overload condition...
-
Page 14: Connecting The Simple Logger
Overload occurs when any input is 10% above its input range. When the battery voltage goes below 1.7 volt the instrument will shut down (termi- nating and saving the recording, if it is recording). • SLEEP mode: The instrument enters the low power state if the button is not pressed for one minute. -

Click Close to exit the screen. 6. To complete the connection, open the Simple Logger II Control Panel. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select Help. In the drop-down menu that appears, click the option Help Topics. This opens the Simple Logger II Control Panel Help system. -
Page 16: Turning Bluetooth On/Off
Turning Bluetooth ON/OFF By default, Bluetooth is enabled. To conserve battery power, Bluetooth can be turned OFF. To turn Bluetooth OFF, press and hold the Control button until the Blue LED turns on solid, then release the button. Repeat this step to turn Blue- tooth back ON. -
Page 17: Stopping A Recording Session
The recorded data may be downloaded to a computer. Downloading Recorded Data Recorded measurements stored in the instrument are transferred to a computer via the download command in the Simple Logger II Control Panel. Clearing Alarm Indication Clearing alarms can be performed in the STANDBY or RECORD mode. -
Page 18: Erasing Data From Memory
RED LED stops blinking at the fast rate. Erasing the Memory using the Simple Logger II Control Panel: 1. Connect the instrument to the computer and launch the Simple Logger II Control Panel. -
Page 19: Data Storage
The logger stores the measurement of each of the inputs. In addition, the user can define the storage rate, recording period and measurement format using the Configure Instrument dialog box in the Simple Logger II Control Panel software. Control Panel trend measurements are stored at this fixed storage rate. -
Page 20: Recording With Memory Cleared
If the RED LED is single-blinking every 5 seconds prior to starting a New Recording Session, the memory is partially full. To save, clear or check memory availability, use the Simple Logger II Control Panel software. There may be instances where the GREEN LED is also double-blinking every 5 seconds indicating that the logger is still recording. -
Page 21: Recording With Memory Cleared
• The CONTROL button is pushed until the STOP (AMBER) LED lights up and is released before the next LED lights. • The Stop Recording command from the Simple Logger II Control Panel is sent to the unit. • The battery voltage falls below 1.7V. -
